Hi! I'm David Charles— a 35-year-old model based in Austin, Texas. I'm 5'9", 185 lbs, with light brown hair (dirty blonde in the summer) and brown eyes. My look is versatile, and I’m available for a range of modeling genres including fitness, swimwear, fashion, lifestyle, and more. I'm open to most concepts and happy to discuss creative ideas or shoot requirements.

My modeling journey began four years ago at a gym in San Diego when I was approached by the editor of a fitness and business magazine. That opportunity led to a published interview and photo feature — and I’ve been hooked ever since. Since then, I’ve modeled for a local swimwear brand, housing developments, company websites, and more.

I bring a mix of professionalism, approachability, and energy to every shoot. I love the collaborative process and believe that great results come from mutual respect and a shared vision — something that often resonates in the final images.

When I’m not in front of the camera, I work in the software industry and stay active year-round. I play ice hockey, football, pickleball, and other seasonal sports. I live by the motto:
“We don’t stop playing because we get old — we get old because we stop playing.”
This mindset fuels my lifestyle and passion for creativity.

I’m always eager to collaborate with photographers, brands, and creatives who are passionate about their work. If you'd like to see additional samples of my portfolio or talk about an upcoming project, feel free to reach out.
